Start: Kareem Hunt, Kansas City Chiefs

@ New England Patriots

Bill Belichick is known for his ability to game plan against an opponent’s greatest strength. This week he and the New England Patriots face the explosive passing game of the Kansas City Chiefs. New England is looking to be the first team to really keep Patrick Mahomes in check.

This means we could see a big game by running back Kareem Hunt. He has had a slow start to the season (by his standards) and is primed for a breakout performance.

New England ranks in the middle of the pack allowing 114 yards rushing per game. It’s also about time that Andy Reid starts getting Hunt involved in the passing game. Last year, he proved to be a very dangerous receiver out of the backfield.

Sit: David Johnson, Arizona Cardinals

vs. Minnesota Vikings

David Johnson is coming off a strong fantasy week that will have some thinking he’s back to his old self. However, a lot of the Arizona Cardinals success this past week were thanks to the San Francisco 49ers five turnovers.

Johnson only averaged 3.1 yards per carry, but was able to find the end zone twice. This week the Cardinals face the Minnesota Vikings who still have a strong defense. ]

Minnesota knows that Johnson is Arizona’s top playmaker and will ensure they pay attention to his whereabouts. Don’t be surprised if they have someone like Anthony Barr shadow him all over the field.
